State UNC game thread

Since I started the game threads we are 3-0. Since I am obviously the reason we keep winning I will keep doing the game thread. Ironically I will not be watching the game or able to join the game thread as my wife committed me to attend her nephew’s daughter’s baptism. Sigh. That means someone else will need to carry on the nickname “Buckets” and start the new one “Player X”.

I have no idea how this game will go. They will be playing “small ball” and we will be looking to score in the paint. Whichever team is able to force their will on the other will win. We should be more consistent as we will not be relying on the three, so if UNC gets hot we need to minimize the damage and keep our heads. This will be a close but high scoring game. I think we win it 87-83.

    note to self:… the last five minutes are the longest we have gone without a basket since before Christmas…

    We’ve played some inconsistent games this season, but this is the worst I’ve seen us play in a while.

    Howell, Brown, and Wood tried, but that’s really all we had. Turnovers just destroyed us.

    The trend continues…teams playing like garbage vs UNC. They will not win a game in the NCAAT.

    This loss is on Gottfried.

    Somebody get Leslie an enema. His head has been stuck up his ass all day.

    At the end of this game I know most will say it is not all CJ’s fault. That’s right because it is CJ’s and Gott’s for not taking him out!

    Wood getting torched by a freshman now.

  12. coach13 02/23/2013 at 5:44 PM #

    how the fuk is Wood on their PG??????????????

  13. Dogbreath 02/23/2013 at 5:44 PM #

    Gottfried is a fucking idiot for having Wood on Paige. Fucking idiot.

    No poise…. no composure… no defense….. too many turnovers = blowout loss to an average team on the road.
    This loss has ruined my weekend. We are a better team than this!

  15. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:44 PM #

    Agreed. Gott lost this one.

  16. BJD95 02/23/2013 at 5:44 PM #

    Time to watch some NM/Colorado State.

    No composure down the stretch, and way too many turnovers. Defintely should have run away with it , mean while CJ leslie is no where to be seen unless he is turning the ball over.

    Its’ a shame that this team is playing down to competition once again, and lets a close game be decded with more than 3 minutes left.

    FT’s…check out the box score, when it comes out…we’re around 50% for the day…could’ve had a coushy lead part way through this half, if we hit the FT’s…

  19. Wulfpack 02/23/2013 at 5:46 PM #

    Gott really is a poor defensive coach. I love the guy but I can’t stand that. Not n our DNA.

  20. TheAliasTroll 02/23/2013 at 5:46 PM #

    We’re like the San Diego Chargers of the NCAA.

  21. Whiteshoes67 02/23/2013 at 5:46 PM #

    WE DO NOT DEFEND WELL. and when you have double digit turnovers, limit your offensive possessions, don’t exploit other teams deficiencies, you lose…I’ve said it all year, but I still say Gottfried shares a significant amount of blame for poor defensive showings. This team didn’t have to be tops in defense, that wasn’t going to happen. But among the worst in the ACC, over 100 in adjusted defense…Come on.

  22. bill.onthebeach 02/23/2013 at 5:46 PM #

    ..can’t blame Coach Gott…. he’s not on the floor…

    now… there’s Cuz and CJ and you don’t need to look any further….

    check your stat sheet…

  23. TMD11 02/23/2013 at 5:46 PM #

    Carolina not that good…we don’t play with intensity, don’t guard the threes, don’t make free throws…how stupid is this team. PLAY TO WIN or don’t play…!

  24. coach13 02/23/2013 at 5:46 PM #

    We fouled with 5 on shot clock? Terrible playing and coaching today.

  25. eas 02/23/2013 at 5:47 PM #

    Lewis was back in for like 30 seconds. WTF?
